cool beans man, what springs/coils did you use? i used eibach, and i have not even a 2 finger gap on my vic. but for some reason my front is a tad higher than the back. i repped ya for finally getting it done though.

EDIT: says i repped to many times today ill hit you up tomorrow though. of course after you post pics that is..

Thus begins the landmine effect on stock shocks. You should be okay for about 2 months.

um, wow. ok. i didn't ever do it before. i had 2 extra people for 2 hours. did the fronts with that. the rest it was me and ex gf. then i called my bro to come put his foot on the brake drum so i could pop the bolt back in for the strut. o well. i saved 200 bucks.
how many people did it take for a 1 hour drop? did you do it in your driveway?

awesome, can't wait to see pics.

And when I first did my springs on my civic, me and my friend installed them in his drive way in about 2.5 hrs.

Coilovers took about 30 minutes

cool that u have a drop.

depending on how low it is u should be fine with stock struts. i have been dropped for over a year and have been through rough terrain (mostly by accident) with my car and still the stock ones are fine.

from my experience the front always takes longer... but the more u change springs the faster it gets obviously. all about the learning curve.

took me about 1.5 hours at a friends house with 2 people helping in his driveway. it started raining though, so we went in and watched initial D for about 35 mins. although mine were ground controls already on the konis (so basically coilovers).
